ever had a better time. But if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of tank or Chelsea Stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the dopamine hit of the day, the simultaneous sip and it happens now. Go. Go. I almost forgot the words. It's not like I do it every day. Well, there are stories. Remember that big problem with the sea ice? That climate change was going to take care of all the sea ice and then we'd have problems, wouldn't we? Well, according to the Daily Skeptic, Chris Morrison, there's been a massive recovery in Antarctic sea ice.

And let's see if even officially the U.S.-based National Snow and Ice Data Center confirms that. And apparently it's sort of back into its normal zone-ish, proving that the variation was probably just natural, just a natural variation. So the sea ice melting doesn't seem to be any indication of climate change, but it was predicted. And then, of course, you've heard about the coral reefs. The coral reefs are all being destroyed by climate change. Except, I don't know if you missed the stories where it seems like they're all coming back. But the climate change is worse. How are they coming back? Oh, maybe there's some natural variation. How about that sea level? Remember all those beach houses that used to be good, but now the water rose and you can't live there?
Scott Adams 1:57
Neither do I. So climate change didn't predict sea level, coral reefs, sea ice. Oh, but it did predict temperature. So, I mean, that's true, right? It did predict the temperature, didn't it? Or is it possible that we're measuring that wrong too? Of course we're measuring it wrong. The temperature might be going up, I wouldn't know. But there's no way we can know. We don't have any kind of reliable mechanism for measuring the temperature of the entire planet over time. That is so far from being a thing that humans could do. But the news tells you they can do it, so you should believe it because it's on the news. Well, the Trump effect... Has reached Chicago. Because a couple of the aldermen. I think it's funny that Chicago has aldermen.
Scott Adams 2:53
Is there any other city that has aldermen? Is that just a Chicago word? I got the aldermen. Florida has elderly men. So I don't know what an alderman is. But some kind of politician. And they're in the legislature. And they're introducing legislation. They would roll back the city's sanctuary law. So that's where the city would not cooperate with ICE and help them deport people, but at least two of them want to roll it back. Now, this is according to the Daily Caller News. Jason Hopkins is writing about it. And what is interesting about this story? I mean, there's always somebody who wants to roll back everything, right? They're both Democrats. Two Democrat aldermen, Democrats, are trying to roll back their own sanctuary city. Is that the Trump effect? What else would it be? Of course it's the Trump effect. The Trump effect, if you're looking for a definition, and I think we need one, the Trump effect is not just that good things are happening that Trump supporters would like, although that's certainly on the surface, that's what's happening.

What it is is that the Trump effect made it safe and made it safe for people to pursue common sense. Because I think Trump actually sold the idea that common sense is where the two parties meet in the middle. We're not going to meet on some, let's say, philosophical level. But we should always meet on the, how do you stop a fire? We should always meet on, should we close the border? We should always meet on, Should crime be illegal? These are now political things. And it took the Trump effect to take the crazy left out of their bubble and say, what about the things that are just common sense, like safety? Can we just work on that? Now, of course, climate change hangs over everything because the climate change crisis believers
